We met Lucas Croon in April and from that moment on we decided to visit him in person. In the middle of this beautiful summer, we went to Düsseldorf to breathe in a breeze of music after 20 years. Voila, here comes a new FONIA radio show. Listen up, because we think there are very interesting musical developments to discover here since Kraftwerk, Rheingold and La Düsseldorf.

Drum roll!!
For our 50th show, we welcomed Alexander Pehlemann. Alex, born in Berlin-Lichtenberg switched a career as a ringer for the army club “Vorwärts” Frankfurt/Oder with the wild world of pop culture in the GDR. Since 1993 he publishes “Zonic”, the magazine for “Kulturelle Randstandsblicke & Involvierungsmomente” and travels (very often eastwards) from Leipzig-Connewitz into the world, always checking for anything obscure and “schräg”.

He told us what brought him from Greifswald to Leipzig and all the up and downs and turn arounds he experienced in growing into the author, curator, DJ and networker he is today.

If you make it to Leipzig, check the salon “Kulturny dom Lipsk/Salon Similde” where he spreads the word of “Neue Sorbische Kunst”.

For the last show in the year 2017, the holidays just around the corner and so with a somewhat mellow mood and mind we welcomed in the radio show Lutz Hartmann directly from Leipzig City for some smokey beers (yea, that Schlenkerla from Bamberg). We talked with Lutz about his musical journey – starting with jazz played by his grandfather – via DJing and mixing to producing and running an own label called Old New Records.

It felt like the first really warm, sunny and bright friday this year when we welcomed Sandra Leidecker aka Frinda di Lanco for a short chitchat followed by an exclusive vinyl mix set.
